Trade Professionals & Private commissions
As a lifelong artist with over 25 years of experience, I specialize in creating custom art for commercial and residential installations, enhancing spaces with unique, tailored artwork. Collaboration with designers and collectors has always been a rewarding aspect of the job, personally and professionally. Working to achieve a common goal, and being able to contribute to beautiful, exciting spaces inspires me to push forward each day.
I am a prolific painter and maker. While I appreciate the freedom to create what I choose, collaborating on projects and building upon the inspiration of others makes this solitary career a more human experience. Scheduling projects in advance is a practical and efficient way to meet requirements and installation deadlines. The opportunities and connections I’ve made are never underestimated and have become something I am very proud of.
Dollars and ‘Sense’.
Common sense and the desire to share my work ensures fair pricing for my clients. It takes into account the materials, time, and expertise required. Additional, considerations are made for custom-built surface panels by carpentry professionals. Because I produce an assortment of work, in all sizes; my experience helps resolve budget constraints by being able to offer alternatives. Design professionals will appreciate the benefit of working directly with me in the planning stages of their projects when we can build complete art packages, with diverse yet complimentary originals, within budget, while considering design elements to be incorporated in the space.
I love a good challenge and am always forthcoming. If you request something I can not confidently execute I will happily refer you to other talented artists in my network. Developing mutually beneficial relationships where all parties can shine, and the end client is thrilled is the ultimate success.
Prints & Wall Coverings
Thanks to recent technologies in printing, commercial designers and private clients now have the option to convert my work into wall coverings and commercial-grade quality reproductions for projects large and small. The options, finishes, and applications available through multiple services create endless possibilities. I’m happy to work with you and your preferred manufacturer to make this possible for your next project.
collaborative spirit | Why choose me?
As a seasoned artist, I bring an ability to create in varied styles; although admittedly I have my favorites. From large-scale installations to high-quality reproductions and wall coverings, I bring creativity and professionalism to every project. I will be a leader and a trusted team player to you. I believe relationships are the key to success in engaging people and creating meaningful artwork and spaces. Since moving to Seattle 10 years ago, I have enjoyed developing these relationships and can now extend my service to the Phoenix area. I am certain that you will benefit from my unique combination of problem-solving, communication, design experience, and enthusiasm should you choose to include me or my work in your projects.
“
Confession time. I have a “mouth like a trucker,” but will mind my manners when meeting clients. I drink more than the acceptable amount of coffee, and I’m “one of those people” who doesn’t eat wheat.” Hey, these things matter in relationships.”
